I heard on a local radio in Pembrokeshire at the County Show interviewing a stall promoting sign language. For many years I have thought that sign language should be taught as part of the curriculum in all UK schools. It makes perfect sense both educationally and to everyone’s advantages, not least in the communications sector.
I will probably not live to see this dream of mine to materialise but who knows as without doubt the saying ´´It´s a Mad Mad World ´´ may come up trumps and deliver something worthwhile by the ´´powers that are´´ to sanction the introduction of sign language in our education regime.
